Yeah, it's too bad people choose dishonesty. It's their honor I guess and it
will catch up to them sooner or later. I love watching "Dateline" or "20/20"
when they catch people in insurance scams. A guy has "back problems" from a
work related "injury" yet the detective catches him on video doing flips on
a trampoline or something. I love the dumb look on their faces when they
see the video and try to cook up an excuse :)

I know it's hard not to be cynical, I'm the King of Cynicism. It's too bad a
few bad apples have to ruin the pie. Thanks for your comments!
